A German Coronabsurdity on the railway

Deutsche Bahn, German Rail has announced that it is only selling reservations for seats diagonally opposite on its trains - but it will not block off other seats for passengers.

Then again, it's in the time on the Coronavirus and it was after all reported by the tabloid Bild Zeitung.
